Not the article I read. So I don't care what you are afraid of... If that is the case, I feel no less disgust at her fervent attitude. I'm glad that makes you feel better however.
Still, Not in the article I read.

If you think just because you eat lamb, that it's OK to kill kittens or puppies, you are sick.

You come across as someone who does not care about animals at all, despite your continued reference to animals we eat to compare. You simply come across as someone who thinks very little of animals at all - and hey, humans are animals.
I understand where you are both coming from, the position that Human life is more important and precious than evrything else and that there are bigger injustices out there than drowning a few pups.

Killing a spider isn't considered animal abuse...killing a dog is.
Isn't considered, being the operative phrase.
As far as I understand it, all animals are related, so why the double-standards here ?
From a logical and philosophical perspective, surely one should either believe that all animals are fair game for being killed by humans, or all animals should be treated with equal respect by humans ?
Any alternative doesn't make sense, and there must be a whole lot of cognitive dissonance involved in the people that form any kind of ''pecking order'' in how certain animals should, or should not, be treated.

You clearly know there is a difference between a dog and a spider. If you don't, then you should run on over to Disney.com and check out their educational section.

By that logic, we should take stray insects we find to the humane society. Get them vaccinated against rabies and have them spayed or neutered.

It is NOT trivial when someone under instruction or otherwise is videoed 'enjoying' what is a crime against sentient beings and nature.
As a race we will WAKE up one day and realise what we have lost and the continual perspective about this NOT being a crime only speeds us towards that enivitable end time...
We all know it was wrong, Just accept it, LEARN and move on...

LOL.
I wouldn't know, nor would I wish to know.
Then again, I consider neutering dogs and cats to be an act of animal cruelty.
But like I say, that is not the issue at hand here !

So if spaying and neutering is an act of cruelty... is it okay if the state taxes you for your lack of responsibility as a pet owner when your pet gets lost or abandoned and starts to multiply at an alarming rate and becomes a public nuisance???
